I am so appreciative to have found your videos. I stopped singing suddenly in January after a personal loss. When I wanted to resume singing in June, I found my range shortened on both ends and a loss of flexibility. I am diligently doing your warmups daily and my range , flexibility and control are returning. I’m about to resume my public singing again and your videos have made all the difference. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with the public. ❤
Hahaha…Sven jumping up to play for you as you vocalized. Haha…can’t stop replaying that part. 😅🥰 He clearly needs his own stool . Hehe..Welcome Olaf & Sven! 🙌🐾🥰
Kathleen I believe that this one will be in my top ten, and not only because of your enthusiastic feline. As always, thank you for giving and sharing so much!!
The “ee”s and “eh”s have always eluded me. It was one of the things my voice teacher in college worked with me most on, but somehow your instructions make it easy to relax into those sounds and create a full open sound with them without losing the integrity of the vowels. Love your warmups. Thanks! ❤
@@VocalWarmupsWithKathleen Bahhhhaahaha. I do! I appreciate your good nature. Looking forward to learning more with you!! I really appreciate your expertise and joy in teaching 😃👍🏼 God bless you and yours
Hi Kathleen..I love your warm ups!! Could you maybe spell out the exercises phonetically on the screen? Sometimes I'm not sure what vowels/consonants you are singing. If that's not possible that's quite okay.
Absolute excellence - many many thanks Kathleen. What a superb cover of range from high to low. I have to stop on the very low notes - just can't make those, but that's no problem at all. I love the great variations of vowels you use in your videos. As other people have, I just want to mention the puss - what a character! No detriment I'm sure - I know cats are adept at landing on all four feet! 🙀😻😸
Loved the warmup. My larynx was cooperative enough today to successfully go through all of them with clarity. PS. Your cat made me laugh out loud when she/he slipped on the keys. Thanks.
Kathleen, I LOVE your warm up videos and use them for myself and recommend them to my voice students! I'd love a video dedicated to warming up specifically for belting and high chest voice (musical theatre actor/singer here!) if you're thinking about future videos!
All of your videos are very helpful. Would you do an exercise specifically for a maturing voice to help keep range and strength intact. Thank you and I absolutely love your videos and have recommended them to many singer friends.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! I'll think about what other videos I might make to address that specifically, but in the mean time, here are a couple with good exercises for maturing voices: STRENGTHENING the SINGING Voice through Menopause ruclips.net/video/k0hB_QgW2bM/видео.html Gentle VOCAL WARM UP for SINGERS | Rehabilitative vocal warmups | 15 minute vocal warmup ruclips.net/video/TDlVPOmMtD0/видео.html
Great vid! So glad I found your channel. The vocal function exercises one is my go to daily as I’m dealing with some strength issues. It’s been a lifesaver. Thank you!!QUESTION. Would you consider doing a video on how to clear phlegm without coughing?
So glad you've been getting good use out of my videos! There's definitely a way to do what you're asking (as coughing can be hard on the vocal folds!) - in essence, it's a forceful exhalation of air without sound... without bringing the vocal folds together. I'll consider working that into a video. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have just finished my warm ups and was looking through the comments, and noticed yours about the phlegm problem. Before I warmed up, I noticed that FREYA CASEY has just uploaded a video about "singing phlegm away" (or similar wording). I haven't watched it yet so can't comment, but perhaps you may like to watch it anyway.
Is the purpose of a warm-up routine to warm up the vocal folds so they don't get hurt from singing like warming up the muscles before doing the real heavy weight lifting workout, or to train the vocal folds to produce the desired notes in the most effective and healthy way? I mean if I do the warm-ups in the morning and sing, then take a nap in the afternoon, will it be still healthy to sing in the evening without having to do the warm-ups again on this same day?
Hi there! I'd say it's a little of each. I definitely need to physically/mechanically warm up the first time I sing during the day (especially if it's morning and I haven't been speaking much!), but if you still feel fine and warmed up in the evening, you probably can spend that pre-practice or pre-rehearsal time really thinking about technique and making sure everything is coordinated and working well together without having to do an athletic-grade "warm up". Hope that makes sense!
I couldn't tell you without re-watching the whole thing, but it was likely between a Bb and a C. I'd recommend the app TE Tuner - it will tell you what note you're singing!
Great warm up--thank you! Question: When singing a descending scale I noticed one note always turns into a "fog horn" at the point where I'm not sure whether to push it with more chest voice or let it sound too flutey in head register. Either of those ways sounds almost as bad as the fog horn! Any exercises that helps with that "indecisive" note that never comes out right?
Hi there! it's not possible to tell without hearing you, but two main things come to mind. 1 - that note is at your break/passaggio, and you can do some exercises to help with that: Fix Your Vocal Break | Navigate Passagio | Head Voice To Chest Voice Exercises ruclips.net/video/ZDoQ8OdtWxE/видео.html 2 - if it's the same note all the time and you actually can't sing it, it's a good idea to see a specialist and get scoped!

I don't know how you carried on after the cat appearance 🤣 That was hilarious! I love your warm ups, thank you for what you do 💟
They keep me on my toes, indeed =)
This is a great warm-up, as yours always are-- but my favorite bit so far is Sven' cameo on the keys. 🤣
Her little legs don't always work as well as she'd like them to. 😂
@@VocalWarmupsWithKathleen Mine is the same.
That flying cat trick was epic! Jim and I are doing your practice even while the plumbers and workmen are here in the other room ;)
I did not catch the full glory of her gymnastics until I went back to edit. 😂 Glad you're practicing with or without the plumbers in the house! ;-)
Good for you both - glad to hear you carried on with the warm up - I hope the plumbers enjoyed it - "music while you (they!) work".

They are ridiculous. Lol. =)
D’oh! Just saw in another comment that Sven is a “she” not a “he.” Sorry Svennie! 😘
@@elvisiscat =)
Great!! The cat pouncing on the piano gave me the laughter lift I needed today! Love your warmups!!!
So glad! =)
thank you! feel like some cobwebs got brushed off!
Glad it helped!
All exercise are excellent. Fits right in my range. Thank you very much.
Glad you liked it!

Glad to hear it!
I feel so happy to see you and the new cat! Thank you!
You're welcome, and they are keeping me busy!
I missed the very beginning so didn't realise you had 2 new cats! When I used to see Celeste, she made me feel better about my somewhat annoying cat!
This is a great video
thanks

I'm not always able to to that, but the good news is that it's no big deal if it's not exactly the same!
That was wonderful! That felt absolutely amazing and so good and soothing on my vocals. Thank you for putting this lovely practice together!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for posting this! It really helped me.
You bet!

Keep the cats in the room, they'll always get you comments lol
lol, right?
Hello hope for future lessons to write down the " words / sounds" example vee ooo vèe ooo wee
Thanks for the suggestion!
Ha! Love this, and the catsissistants are perfect for us ADD types😉
haha exactly 😂
I loved your warm up! Can u tell me
The heights note we sang on this warm up please
I couldn't tell you without re-watching the whole thing, but it was likely between a Bb and a C. I'd recommend the app TE Tuner - it will tell you what note you're singing!
Which cat was that? LOL!!
Sven (Svennie). 😂 She has very short legs.
Love to practise with you my dear. Do each day.
So glad!

2 - if it's the same note all the time and you actually can't sing it, it's a good idea to see a specialist and get scoped!
Svend and Olaf? Are you of Norwegian descent?😅 In any case your exercises are really useful. Thank you!!!
My surname IS in fact Norwegian! BUT the cats came with those names and we kept them. 😸
Question - I tend to not show my top teeth when singing, would you please give me an exercise I can do to fix this?
Everyone is built a little bit differently, so make sure you're not showing teeth for the sake of showing teeth...but if you're looking for more lift, exercises that work on short vowels like "preh" or "prih" help - check out the 9th exercise in this one: ruclips.net/video/fJGUfYQWK1k/видео.html
